1.â€"Do you warmâ€"up your automoâ€" bile engine or tinker around your car with the garage windows and doors closed? 3.â€"Are you sure that your gasâ€" stove is properly ‘adjusted and that all the pipe connections, flexible hose and the meter are without leaks? Each year many persons are innoâ€" cent victims of their own carelessnes. Will it be you this time? 2.â€"When you sit in your car with the windows closed are you sure all the exhaust connections are tight, and that no exhaust gas is leaking into the car? 4.â€"Do all your gas burning devices have adequate flues propertly connecâ€" ted to a chimney? 5.â€"Do you burn a gas heater in your bathroom or other small confined space without proper circulation of air? p If you cannot answer all these questions with an emphatic "No" you may become an innocent victim of carbon monoxide poisoning, says & bulletin issued by Dr. W. J. R. Camp, pharmacology expert at the Chicago University College of Medicine. Almost Odorless Gas Carbon monoxide is a tasteless, colâ€" orless and almost odorless poisonous gas formed wherever carbon or coal is burned without an adequate supâ€" ply of air. It is found in the exâ€" haust gas of internal combustion gases to the extent of about 7 to 8 percent. It occurs in illuminating gas in large quantitiesâ€"up to 30 per cent. It is for these reasons that over 50 people in Cook county during 1929 died from inhaling this gas. In 1916, there were 501 cases of carbon monoxide poisoning: in Cook county hospital, or 8 percent of all coroner‘s POINTS OUT DANGER OF CARBON MONOXIDE Motorists Warned to Be Careâ€" ful; Deadly Effects of Neglect Thursday, Dec. 18, 1930 If you will consider how little of this gas is necessary to kill a man, you will be more careful in the futâ€" ure. An engine rating about 25 hp. will deliver about 1.5 cubic feet of carbon monoxide a minute. In a small garage 10‘x10‘x20‘ a dangerous amount is reached in three minutes; in five minutes enough is present to suffocate a man; and in ten minutes there is a quantity sufficient to kill him. , And since this gas gives no warnâ€" ing except perhaps a headache or an attack of dizziness, many people die needlessly every year. That life insurance companies will eventually adopt premium scales that vary geographically, based on relative efficiency of public health departâ€" ments, is forecast by Dr. Andy Hall, director of the state department of public health. He draws comparisons that show it is as logical to consider the merits of health protection in adâ€" justing life insurance premiums as it is to base fire insurance costs on the efficiency of fire protection service. Predicts New Plan in Life Insurance Build now while the cost of buildâ€" ing material is low and the highest quality of workmanship is available, Gov. Louis L. Emmerson urged in an address at the recent convention of Southern Illinois Building Material Dealers‘ a@ssociation. He pointed to the experience of the state during the present biennium as a sound arguâ€" ment for his plea. Illinois is just comâ€" pleting the biggest two year building program in its history, he said, and has secured a higher quality of work at a lower cost than in a period of years. "There is no room for doubt," Gov, Emmerson continued, "Any prospecâ€" tive builder will make real savings by carrying out needed improvements at this time." °o Build Now Is Advice of Governor Emmerson Believe it or notâ€"the largest conâ€" sumer of maple sugar in the United States is the American Tobacco comâ€" pany.
